1Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
1Joas mal sedem rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval štyridsať rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Cibia z Bér-šeby.
2Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2Joas robil to, čo je spravedlivé v očiach Hospodinových, po všetky dni kňaza Jehojadu.
3Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters.
3A Jehojada mu vzal dve ženy, a splodil synov i dcéry.
4It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore the house of Yahweh.
4Potom sa stalo, že vzkrsla myšlienka v srdci Joasovom obnoviť dom Hospodinov.
5He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter.” However the Levites didn’t do it right away.
5Preto shromaždil kňazov a Levitov a riekol im: Vyjdite do miest Júdových a shromažďujte od všetkého Izraela peniaze na opravu domu svojho Boha, z roka na rok, a vy sa ponáhľajte s vecou. Avšak Levitovia sa neponáhľali.
6The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, “Why haven’t you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?”
6Vtedy zavolal kráľ Jehojadu, predného kňaza, a riekol mu: Prečo nevyžaduješ od Levitov, aby doniesli z Judska a z Jeruzalema dávku Mojžiša, služobníka Hospodinovho, i celé shromaždenie Izraelovo, pre stán svedoctva?
7For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God’s house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the house of Yahweh to the Baals.
7Lebo synovia Atálie, tej bezbožnice, boli sa vlámali do domu Božieho, áno i všetky posviatne veci domu Hospodinovho obrátili na Bálov.
8So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Yahweh.
8A na rozkaz kráľov spravili jednu truhlicu, ktorú postavili pri bráne domu Hospodinovho zvonku.
9They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness.
9A vyhlásili po Judsku a po Jeruzaleme, aby doniesli Hospodinovi dávku Mojžiša, služobníka Božieho, uloženú na Izraela na púšti.
10All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
10Vtedy sa radovali všetky kniežatá i všetok ľud a donášali a hádzali do truhlice, až dokončili.
11It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
11A stávalo sa v taký čas, keď doniesli truhlicu do úradu kráľovho Levitami, a keď videli, že je v nej mnoho peňazí, že prichádzaval pisár kráľov a úradník najvyššieho kňaza a vyprázdnili truhlicu. Potom ju zase odniesli a postavili na jej miesto. Tak to robili každý deň. A nahromadili množstvo peňazí.
12The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Yahweh, and also such as worked iron and brass to repair the house of Yahweh.
12A kráľ a Jehojada ich dávali tým, ktorí konali dielo služby domu Hospodinovho, a oni najímali kameniarov a remeselníkov, aby obnovili dom Hospodinov, ako aj tým, ktorí pracovali zo železa a z medi, aby opravili dom Hospodinov.
13So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up God’s house in its state, and strengthened it.
13Nuž tak pracovali tí, ktorí konali dielo, ktoré aj bolo šťastne zavŕšené ich rukami. A tedy postavili dom Boží, takže stál vo svojom spôsobe, a upevnili ho.
14When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Yahweh, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually all the days of Jehoiada.
14A keď dokončili, doniesli ostatok peňazí pred kráľa a Jehojadu. A dali z nich narobiť nádob pre dom Hospodinov, nádob k službe a k obetovaniu zápalov a lyžíc, a to nádob zlatých a strieborných. A obetovali zápalné obeti v dome Hospodinovom ustavične, po všetky dni Jehojadu.
15But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died.
15Ale Jehojada sa zostarel a nasýtiac sa dní zomrel. Sto tridsať rokov mal, keď zomrel.
16They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.
16A pochovali ho v meste Dávidovom s kráľmi, lebo robil dobré v Izraelovi i voči Bohu i voči jeho domu.
17Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
17A po smrti Jehojadovej prišly kniežatá Júdove a poklonily sa kráľovi. Vtedy ich vypočul kráľ a dovolil.
18They forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.
18A tak opustili dom Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov, a slúžili hájom a modlám, a preto prišiel hnev Boží na Júdu a na Jeruzalem, pre ten ich hriech.
19Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Yahweh; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
19A posielal k nim prorokov, aby ich navrátili k Hospodinovi a svedčili proti nim, ale nepočúvali.
20The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you disobey the commandments of Yahweh, so that you can’t prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.’”
20Ba keď prišiel Duch Boží na Zachariáša, syna kňaza Jehojadu, a keď sa postavil z vyššieho miesta pred ľud a riekol im: Takto hovorí Bôh: Prečo prestupujete prikázania Hospodinove? Nepovedie sa vám dobre! Lebo preto, že ste opustili Hospodina, opustí aj on vás!
21They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Yahweh.
21vzbúrili sa proti nemu a ukameňovali ho na rozkaz kráľov vo dvore domu Hospodinovho.
22Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, “May Yahweh look at it, and repay it.”
22A nepamätal kráľ Joas na milosrdenstvo, ktoré mu učinil Jehojada, jeho otec, ale zavraždil jeho syna. A keď zomieral, povedal: Nech pohliadne Hospodin a nech vyhľadá!
23It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.
23A stalo sa na konci roka, že prišlo hore proti nemu sýrske vojsko, a prišli do Judska a do Jeruzalema a zahubili všetky kniežatá ľudu z ľudu, a všetko to, čo ukoristili u nich, poslali kráľovi Damašku.
24For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash.
24Lebo hoci v malom počte mužov prišlo sýrske vojsko, Hospodin jednako vydal do ich ruky veľmi veliké vojsko, pretože opustili Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov, a nad Joasom vykonali súdy.
25When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.
25A keď odišli od neho, lebo ho zanechali v mnohých ťažkých nemociach, spikli sa proti nemu jeho služobníci pre vyliatu krv synov kňaza Jehojadu a zavraždili ho na jeho posteli, a tak zomrel. A pochovali ho v meste Dávidovom, ale ho nepochovali v hroboch kráľov.
26These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
26A toto sú tí, ktorí sa spikli proti nemu: Zabad, syn Šimeaty Ammonskej, a Jehozabad, syn Šimrity Moábskej.
27Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God’s house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
27A o jeho synoch a o veľkom bremeni, vloženom na neho, jako aj o oprave domu Božieho od základu, hľa, to všetko je napísané vo výklade knihy kráľov. A kraľoval Amaziáš, jeho syn, miesto neho.
